War Room strikes at Dundalk again Dundalk regular War Room gained his third course and distance success on the all-weather track with an easy win in the first division of the Ecological Waste Management Ltd Handicap. The Shane Duffy-trained gelding tracked the leaders in the mile contest before heading for home over a furlong out. The 3/1 joint-favourite stayed on strongly inside the final furlong to record a four-and-a-quarter success and give Shane Foley a double on the card. All War Room's five career wins have come at Dundalk with the gelding also having won twice over the extended ten furlong trip. “He’s a solid horse up here but needs a good strong ride, and Dusty gave him a peach,” said Duffy. “He is what he is, a 0-65 handicapper, and he could come back here later in the month. “That’s my first winner of the year but we’ve had eight seconds.” (Quotes by Alan Magee)
